PXE installation works fine on my end. Additional information would be useful, otherwise closing this report.

Using the PXE files mentioned in : http://docs.kali.org/network-install/kali-linux-network-pxe-install

And its just the udeb package that is 404.
Could be the mirror that is the problem?

Might be. You might have been building a kali system when a repo was synching or updating. See if you can try the PXE install again, and if you get the same error.

Re-Downloaded the tgz file from wget http://repo.kali.org/kali/dists/kali/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

Bootup and everything is fine, also grabs a couple of packages from the repo. But stops at the same file, saying it dosen't exist.

Spelling error in the archive list for wget? or file missing from repo... only things i can think of. :((
